i want to move to both wisconsin and new hampshire. i want to put up some job approval numbers for the president. because what's interesting in new hampshire and iowa in particular, the president's job approval was below his ballot cast. >> yeah. and that's what we're seeing here. look, when you're at 49 or 50, that's an okay number. but that doesn't put a lock on this by any stretch of the imagination. so whether it's his approval rating or what he's getting in the bat lot question against mitt romney, he doesn't have to look too far over his shoulders to see that that's mitt romney. he still only has 50%. the approval rating is a key barometer and, again, high 40s. still an iffy number. it's a very close race and it's gotten closer in each of these three states. >> i want to just emphasize one more time, the job approval rating for the president is 48/48. that looks like a ballot test as much as anything else. and finally, if this election is about the economy, we need to put up our last poll numbers, again, we have the president lea

if it's a dead even race, i think both sides think secretly, romney carries florida. i think new hampshire feels as if it's ever so slightly trending towards him. colorado is another one that feels as if perhaps it is trending slightly republican. and look, that gets him to 248. there's a wildcard here in pennsylvania. the president has had this structurally and it seems as if that's been sitting out there. wisconsin is a state that is -- that is an early -- it is a same day registration voter, so that makes it difficult. then you've got virginia and ohio. and i'm going to throw pennsylvania back here because pennsylvania is a state where they said romney is going in there. position of strength or weakness? >> i'd go for weakness. i think not quite hail mary, but somewhere in that neighborhood. >> and i'll let you jump in on pennsylvania. i want to show you why pen opinion might matter to them. if you don't believe ohio works for romney, and you take out -- if you give them -- if he gets pennsylvania and ohio, he doesn't need virginia and it's at 277. but if you take

both chrysler and gm are firing back at romney. chrysler ceo said in a statement jeep assembly lines will remain in operation in the united states and will con sstitute th backbone of the grand. it is inaccurate to suggest anything different. a gm spokesman told the detroit news, quote, we've clearly enter ed some parallel universe during the last few days, no amount of campaign politics at its cynical worst will diminish the record of creating jobs in the united states. remember, this new romney jeep ad claims that all factual statements in it, the implication is different, but the statements themselves say jeep is being built in china, which the ad says for the implication, of course, is this idea that they're moving some operations out of ohio to china and that's what both gm and chrysler are fighting back on is that perception. ohio papers pummeling romney for the ad. they called it a ploy in an editorial yesterday and said romney is flailing in ohio. and don't forget that detroit, where the free press is heavily criticized rom

that means both romney, who is in ohio and iowa today, and the president will probably end up spending more of their time in the midwest than they had planned with possible stops in colorado and florida. second, barring problems with federal disaster response, the president is likely to have a messaging advantage, if you will, as he gets to run are the government. he does run the government. he is the president. he simply has to do his job. by comparison in the next four days, hurricane sandy will replace mitt romney, does he have momentum or not story as the lead of nearly every swing state newspaper and newscast. the lead story will not be something that goes along like today, romney took his message of change to fill in the blank. and finally, the storm could put a premium on mechanics. and while the romney campaign is certainly a lot better than john mccain's 2008 operation, the more this race focuses on mechanics, the better it is probably for the obama campaign. asked whether the storm could affect early voting, the president said that remains to be seen. >> we don't anticipate t

sides of the vote which my sours tell me is very, very close. >> chris, the jeep ad that governor romney ran and there is some hammering about it quietly in republican circles, is that a decisive thing? are we going to look back at this and say, romney cape up short in ohio because of the jeep ad? >> you know, chuck. i think it's going to be fascinating. when you think of one of the earliest decisions that the president made was that auto bailout that that may be the defining issue. and my democrat sources say that it just showed desperation, it smacked of desperation and even some republicans have told me that he needed to take on the auto bailout sooner rather than what happened in this last week with this ad in toledo. >> larry, if you could have only one county's results in the state of virginia to watch, and that was the only county you could see, you couldn't see the rest of the state, what county would you pick? >> probably loudoun county. president obama doesn't have to win it in northern virginia. he did win it four years ago, but he has to come close. he has to come close becau

great to have both of you with us tonight. senator tyler, does the state of wisconsin know president obama better than they do mitt romney, and does that make a difference? >> we definitely know him and we definitely believe that honesty and trust is important. we can depend on what he says and he has followed through with that and the people have been turning out for him in great numbers in early voting, record numbers, better than in 2008. >> ruth, what do you see on the ground as far as early voting? how enthusiastic is it? >> well, it's interesting because as senator taylor knows, the republicans in our state legislature curtailed our early voting and ended on friday. it's half as long as there used to be and yet there are 5,000 more early votes in milwaukee. so the president is doing very well with the early voting and the enthusiasm is very very high. >> what about katy perry? senator tyler, i mean, could her performance and her appearance and her support of wearing a "forward" dress obviously supporting president obama,
